I had to vote for Akira. It was an extremely hard choice! There were a lot of licks in everybody's takes that really caught my attention, but Akira's was the closest to what I heard in my head for the song. Eventhough his was done prior to the Solo Assignment, he was actually at a bit more of a dissadvantage, for two reasons. One, the track that he played lead over was done at half a step down, and his guitar was in standard, and two, I told him he had an hour to put lead to it. I wasn't serious, but believe it or not, about two hours later :eek: , this is what he sent me.

Again, I enjoyed everybodies interpritation, and had a really hard time decided on whether or not I could even bring myself to vote. Keep up the great work guys!!!!
